A Pervert has admitted spying on a woman in swimming pool changing rooms.
King Alfred Leisure Centre staff confronted Tom Duhigg and detained him on October 12.
He was arrested by police officers on suspicion of voyeurism and operating equipment to observe others after he was accused of peering over cubicles, taking pictures and recording videos on his phone while they were changing after using the swimming pool at the centre in Hove.
The unemployed 31-year-old, of Hill Side, Newhaven, was released on bail and then charged.
He appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to observing a person doing a private act for the “purpose of obtaining sexual gratification” by observing another person in private and “knowing that the person did not consent to being observed for your sexual gratification”.
The charge refers to one victim. In November Sussex Police confirmed they had identified one woman but more footage found on the phone suggested a second had also been watched.
The force issued an appeal to speak to a woman who was changing between 7.30pm and 8pm after swimming at the centre that day.
The images were not clear enough for officers to be able to identify the potential second victim and it is thought she may not have realised she was being watched.
But at one point she is reported to have shouted out ‘Who’s there?’, disturbing a man who left the neighbouring cubicle, a police spokesman said.
At the time, PC Jon Mills invited the woman to come forward to discuss the incident.
Duhigg was released on bail until January 27 when he will be sentenced.

A Pervert who spied on women in swimming pool changing rooms has been spared a jail sentence.
Magistrates decided Tom Duhigg would not face a custodial sentence for taking pictures and recording videos of women while they were changing at the King Alfred Leisure Centre in Hove – even though he was already ordered by the court to complete a sexual behaviour course before the offences.
Diana Hurrell, the presiding magistrate, said it was disappointing to learn the unemployed 31-year-old, of Hill Side, Newhaven, had previously attended a sex offenders’ course and then re-offended.
She said custody was considered but she believed he would benefit from a three-year community order and enrolling on the course again.
He has to take part in 30 days of rehabilitation and will be on the sex offenders’ register for five years.
He will be subject to a curfew with an electronic tag for the next six weeks from 8pm to 7am.
He also has to pay £180 in compensation as well as an £85 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs, to which he responded: “I can’t afford that.”
“That is what we are imposing,” Mrs Hurrell replied.
She also ordered the iPod he used for the crimes to be destroyed.
A mobile phone seized by police was found to be “entirely innocent” of material and will be returned.
He is banned from visiting any gym or leisure centre with unisex changing rooms.
Duhigg was arrested after being accused of peering over cubicles, taking pictures and recording videos while two women were changing after swimming at the centre on October 12.
He was released on bail and charged before pleading guilty to observing a person doing a private act for the “purpose of obtaining sexual gratification” by observing another person in private and “knowing that the person did not consent to being observed for your sexual gratification”.
Chris Lovelock, area manager for Freedom Leisure, which runs the centre for Brighton and Hove City Council, said: “We are pleased the quick and efficient actions of our staff at King Alfred Leisure Centre proved pivotal.
"We wish to reassure our visitors that this is a rare and isolated case and that their safety and experience is our priority.”
Stephen Harris, defending, said Duhigg wanted to “stay out of trouble” and get work, adding: “He does accept causing a great deal of distress to his victims.”
